Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

Chapter 329 Cement pillar! ! !

The raw materials are calcined at high temperatures, ground into powder, and fried in a pot.

Finally, lime powder, clay powder, cinder powder, and gypsum powder are obtained.

At this point, all the raw materials needed for soil and cement are available.

Next is the key parameter ratio.

Zhuang Zhou let out a long yawn.

"Lime powder accounts for 40%, clay powder accounts for 30%, gypsum powder accounts for 20%, and cinder powder accounts for 10%."

After that, he explained the functions of various raw materials again:

"Lime powder is used to enhance the viscosity of cement."

"Clay powder is used to increase the hardness of cement."

"Gypsum powder is used to enhance the bonding and strength of cement."

“Cinder powder is used to enhance the hardness and durability of cement.”

Zhuang Zhou said that someone had already taken notes.

This was specially ordered by Li Er.

If you dare to leak it out, your whole family will be killed!

Add the four powders into a rotating bucket made of wood and mix evenly.

So we finally got soil and cement.

then.

Bucket after bucket of cement began to be made.

Finally, five barrels were filled.

But Zhuang Zhou has no idea what the effect will be.

He is also sincere.

Just say the words that may not succeed first.

To prevent Li Er from causing trouble later.

But Li Er is full of confidence.

Just the production process, he already found it incredible.

The next step is to experiment and see the effect.

After thinking about it, Li Er proposed and finally planned to make a stone pier.

River sand and gravel are all on site.

Just not the wooden frame.

Li Er found several strong craftsmen to follow Zhuang Zhou's instructions.

A wooden frame was made with a depth, length and width of three feet.

then.

They began pouring the prepared soil-cement mortar into the pit.

I’m too lazy to use a vibrator!

Just use a wooden stick to mix carefully until all the soil and cement are evenly filled in the wooden frame.

Next.

The cement mortar was compacted with wooden boards and stones to make it stronger.

Finally, sprinkle some water on the surface of the soil and cement to keep it moist.

Then all you can do is wait.

time flies.

Before I knew it, it was almost dawn.

Throughout the night, Li Er stayed at the general's prison, full of energy.

All the officials were already exhausted by this time.

Everyone yawned.

It's obvious.

I have never stayed up late or worked overtime like this on weekdays.

Li Er often stayed up all night reviewing memorials.

It has long been accustomed to it.

It’s Zhuang Zhou.

This guy lay directly on a wooden board and slept with his clothes on.

Speaking of which, Li Er specially arranged for someone to build a temporary bed for Zhuang Zhou.

There is nothing we can do!

These are Datang's most high-end technical talents.

Don’t dare treat me badly!

Now that the effect of soil and cement has not been achieved, I dare not let him leave.

Wait until Zhuang Zhou wakes up.

It was already bright.

Zhuang Zhou yawned and heard Li Er say:

"You finally woke up, take a look, what's going on with the cement?"

"Okay! Ha~~~"

While yawning, he walked to the concrete pier to inspect it.

He stretched out his finger and pressed it.

Totally hard already!

Counting the time, it was more than seven hours.

The initial setting time has long passed.

It's just that Zhuang Zhou is still a little unsure about the final time.

"How was it? Was it successful?"

Li Er is obviously more anxious than Zhuang Zhou.

"It should be successful, but I don't know how strong it is!"

"What should I do?"

"We'll have to wait a little longer."

After speaking, he stood up, looked at Li Er and asked:

"Why don't you go have breakfast first?"

"Yes, yes, it's time for your Majesty to have breakfast."

Before Li Er could say anything, Supervisor Liu Rengui agreed first.

Then, the other supervisory officials kept echoing.

This is like an amnesty!

Li Er was no longer so anxious at this time and said with a smile:

"Okay! Don't rush this moment."

But before leaving, Zhuang Zhou brought some water and sprinkled it on to maintain it.

These are also recorded one by one.

……

The wait was long and anxious.

It was already noon in a blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Li Er returned to guard the general.

Someone came to the palace and said that many of the courtiers had important matters to discuss.

They were all pushed by Li Er.

Now guard this hardening stone pillar.

It was as if time slowed down extremely slowly at this moment.

In fact, it’s not just Li Er.

Even Zhuang Zhou was full of expectations.

I hope this Shi Dunzi can prove that his efforts were not in vain.

Under the current conditions, it is not realistic to produce high-quality cement of the kind that will be achieved in future generations.

But if this kind of soil and cement is really successful.

It will also bring earth-shaking changes to Datang.

This is already an epoch-making thing.

Finally, after an excruciating wait.

The stone pillar has become extremely hard.

Zhuang Zhou had the wooden boards removed.

Li Er came forward excitedly and knocked on the stone pier with his hand.

"Hard enough!"

After saying that, he looked at each other and smiled at Zhuang Zhou.

"It looks like it was successful!"

Zhuang Zhou also felt extremely pleased.

There was a smile of pride and satisfaction on his face.

The remaining officials apparently also realized the importance of cement.

Naturally, I would not miss such a good opportunity to flatter him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, getting this cement is really a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!"

"With this cement, the general will be able to accomplish great things!"

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

"..."

Amidst the congratulations, Zhuang Zhou seemed unusually calm.

He knew that this was just the beginning.

It's just a start.

The real challenge is yet to come!

One day, cement roads will be paved throughout Datang.

There are many high-rise buildings and cars are passing through the streets.

Upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones.

Various modern devices appear in this world.

That was the real change in Datang.

However, this step in front of me is exciting enough.

Li Er's regard for Zhuang Zhou has reached an unprecedented height.

He decided to immediately start building a large-scale cement production line.

In order to be able to apply this magical material to every corner of Datang as soon as possible.

Of course, this is all under official control.

Private firing of cement is not yet allowed.

Zhuang Zhou was naturally excited.

What would happen if this cement could be fully used in Datang.

But now that the supervisor has taken over, Zhuang Zhou feels much more relaxed.

It just explains the cement formula and production process in detail.

Next, you have to rely on the general to conduct multiple tests.

Of course, this is just the production process of earth and cement.

Zhuang Zhou never thought about making money from soil and cement.

When the time is right in the future, we will acquire high-quality cement production equipment for future generations.

That is the real technological monopoly.

Making money is a matter of minutes.

Make money!

That's no big deal.

After finishing the work on soil and cement, Zhuang Zhou was in a hurry to go to the Lishan construction site.

This time Li Er didn't persuade him to stay because he also had business to do next.

Ask Li Junxian to ask the master to carry the cement pier directly into the palace.

Next, he will gather his ministers to witness the miracle.

……

Tai Chi Palace.

Because Li Er had already informed all the ministers.

When he arrived, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and others were already waiting.

Nowadays, the most powerful civil and military figures in the court are gathered together.

Looking at the cement block placed in front of him, no one recognized it.

It was Cheng Yaojin who couldn't help but ask first:

"Your Majesty, you called me here just to see this stone, right?"

"There's gravel in it, doesn't it look like stone?"

"Well, it feels hard and cool to the touch. I've never seen anything like this before?"

"Your Majesty, what on earth is this?"

"..."

The big guys had already gathered around and watched intently.

But obviously there is no clue.

I reached out and touched it. It was hard and a little cold.

Speaking of stones, I have never seen anything like this.

In short, no one can tell why.

With a confident smile on his face, Li Er looked at the ministers and asked in a very pretentious manner:

"What? Don't you all know me?"

Everyone: "..."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone understands!

Your Majesty is going to show off your shame!
